Re: Service program question

[rick baird <rick.baird@xxxxxxxxx>]

When another program calls a program that uses the SRVPGM, it errors out
(error indicator on call).

Now that I think of it, another thing that did DID change is where in the
library list the service program resides - it's in a different library now.

Does it have to be put in the same library it found it originally?
